Years ago I came across a nice little product, which I think of as an altitude counter, that makes it easier to keep track of a flying character's altitude.
I vaguely recall that it was a clear cylinder with a diameter of an inch (for a medium character, although the company might have made larger ones) with heights marked in 5-foot increments (not to scale) and a black ring that you could roll up or down to the appropriate altitude increment.
At the time I was unemployed or just teaching a class or two, and couldn't really afford extras, so I didn't buy any, but now that I'm working 4 jobs I'd like to buy a few if they're still available. Does anyone know what they're called and who might sell them? Thanks! :-)
I believe this is what you are remembering.
Thanks, Davrio! For some reason nothing showed up for me in your post, but when I quoted it I can see a link to Emeralds Emporium.
Paizo also carries Dr. Wizard's Patented Elevation Indicator at https://paizo.com/products/btpy87no?Dr-Wizards-Patented-Elevation-Indicator &fbclid=IwAR1ab2EMVqhW28RuUcteJJGHri40QqmO3plm_9zWchA9srJthBKV-z5dlJk I just bought a bunch of them! :-D

I was looking for the original on the Store here first, but I only found the Large and Huge extenders. I have them too, and they are pretty handy.

That's good to know, Davrion! Do the extenders just snap on and off the top and bottom? I read an old review from when they were new that staid they extenders wouldn't stay without some of putty, but I think I read someone from the manufacturer saying that the company made them tighter so that they just snap on and off.

I had no idea those were still stock... just ordered 3!... Will look better on the battle map than the various objects we try tu use to mark elevation (generally a dice case with a %dice).
Thanks for pointing!

The ones I had contained the putty, and they were OK when used. We liked the Combat Tiers better for larger minis, though the base Elevation Indicator was preferred when just a M creature needed it.

You're very welcome! The manufacturers might wonder why they got a sudden run on their product, since we ordered 11 combined, plus I ordered 4 huge bases and 3 large bases!

Yes, they arrived and I see the putty. Does the putty permanently stick the base or top to the column, or does it allow you to remove the columns for use wit a different base or not base at all?

I forgo to mention the Combat Tiers. I went to edit my previous reply, but the Edit button didn't work and then disappeared. Weird. Maybe I need to reboot my computer!
Anyway, the Combat Tiers are currently unavailable, but do you have a photo of what they look like? I had trouble envisioning them from their physical description.
